ATV Riding Phuket: 200cc Quad Bikes on Hilltops

Operate your own quad bike instead of watching from a seat

ATV riding in Phuket puts you on a 200cc quad bike at the camp on the island's highest point, where you ride through jungle dirt roads and over hilltops after basic instruction from a guide. The camp sits above Phuket Town and Chalong Bay. A live guide in English or Thai leads the ride; pickup is included; bottled water and an air-conditioned vehicle are provided. Sessions run 30 minutes to two hours, with options to add a Big Buddha visit.

The Experience

The camp sits on Phuket's highest point, which is where the ride begins. After basic instruction on how to control a 200cc ATV—a powerful quad bike—you operate it yourself through the terrain the guide leads you across. The dirt roads wind through jungle; the hilltops give you curves, slopes and humps the camp has designed into the track. A beginner's field exists for first-time riders, so the pace matches your comfort.

The guide rides ahead and sets the route through the property. You follow on your own bike, which means you control the throttle, the braking and the line through each section. Bottled water is provided during the ride. An air-conditioned vehicle is part of the booking, so transport to and from the camp is arranged; a live guide speaks English or Thai. Sessions range from 30 minutes to two hours, and some options include a stop at the Big Buddha afterward.

Top questions

What's the difference between the 30-minute ride and the longer options?

The ATV Adventure 30 minutes is a short introduction to the bike and the beginner's field; the 1-hour and 1.5-hour options extend into more of the terrain and the hilltop sections. The two-hour option covers the full property.

Do I need experience riding an ATV before I book?

No. Basic instruction on how to control the bike is included before you ride, and the beginner's field is designed for first-time riders. The guide will take you through the terrain at a pace that suits your comfort level.

What happens if I book the option that includes the Big Buddha?

The ATV Adventure 1h30+Big Buddha and ATV 2 Hours + Big Buddha options add a stop at the Big Buddha after your ride on the property. The timing is built into the session so both the riding and the visit fit inside the booking.

Is pickup from my hotel included?

Yes. Pickup is included in the booking; an air-conditioned vehicle will collect you and return you after the ride.

What should I bring?

Bring your thirst for adventure. Bottled water is provided during the ride, and the camp supplies everything else—instruction, the ATV, and the guide.
